This Land is Your Land

This Land is Your Landwas originally written by Woodie Guthrie in 1940. However, what I am presenting here is the Canadian version, so if you were looking for the original you’re going to disappoint.

In 1955 a group of Canadian folk singers called the Travellersadapted this song with Canadian geographical references. This version became an important piece of Canadiana and was included in songbooks for Brownies, Girl Guides, Scouts Canada, public elementary schools and many other children’s organizations.

(Once again, it’s a big, long song so I have provided it in PDF format.)
